Bug Description

I have Kubuntu Intrepid, installed from alpha 5 and up-to-date, on an x86_64 arch.
Most multimedia keys don't work.
Volume keys should work but they don't (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdemultimedia/+bug/267245)
So I decided to install keytouch and keytouch-editor in order to use the multimedia keys.
But keytouch doesn't work, and keytouch-editor recognizes the keyboard when I select the input devices (keys are not recognized, so the device is not validated).
I've even installed the latest version from https://launchpad.net/~nick-colgan/+archive, but no luck.
I know it's not a kde 4.1 problem because I had it installed previously in mandriva, and keytouch worked on kde 4.1. But just to make sure, I've installed windowmaker and still no luck.

Keytouch does not work on Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Beta either. Was working on Hardy Heron prior to update via update manager. I have reinstalled the package with no success. x86_32
Volume keys working but none of the others.

I tried the keytouch package (2.3.2-2.1ubuntu1 and a self-built 2.4.1) on Xubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic without luck. Hardware is an Acer Aspire 1352XC. It worked properly on gutsy with kernel 2.6.22-15-generic. I checked with xev and there are keycodes (if you call them that) generated when I press the additional buttons on my laptop, but no action is taken by keytouch.
